    Looks like they put a more powerful one in for you. I guess as long as it fits in the space and has the same power as before, or more, then that’s fine. Thank you.
  2. Shaw RX
    This makes total sense. Thank you. I feel more comfortable now that I can just use an off the shelf battery. I’ll have a search for that Bosch one and see how much it is. Thank you.
  3. Shaw RX
    Good point!!! I don’t believe it does say that. Are hydrogen 12v batteries even a thing??!!
  4. Shaw RX
    Looks like the same one that’s in my engine bay!!! Thank you for confirming the part number. I will give Toyota a call and see how much they quote me before I try and match it to a halfords or Bosch one.
  5. Shaw RX
    Makes sense! Thank you. It’s a very small 12v battery. So, halfords don’t list one and won’t specify one. Their policy is they don’t touch batteries on hybrid vehicles. I dusted off the user manual from the glove box and it says something along the lines of: Only use a hydrogen battery specified for your hybrid vehicle. If you fit a standard battery, you may cause a build up of hydrogen in your vehicle. Is this nonsense? Surely all 12v batteries are the same??? Apart from size and power etc. I’m finding it hard to accept that a hybrid car needs any special kind of 12v battery???

    Thank you 🙏🏻

    Happy new year to all!!! I need a new battery for the engine bay - mine has had it. I have a trade card at halfords so gonna head there today. Via their website, they do not list the battery for my 2008 RX400H. Has anyone fitted a halfords Battery and if so which number?

    Do the plastic screws go in the existing holes in the mount? I need to have a look today. Stucky oads are usually fine, but the mount is only 50% of the size of the plate, so you don’t get maximum fixing. I think that, teamed with the cold weather and frost meant my existing sticky pads failed.
  9. Shaw RX
    So, how do you all fix your front number plates on? Mine was stuck on using sticky pads, but fell off in the cold weather. Obviously I could just drill holes in the number plate and fit it that way. I was actually thinking of sourcing a number plate surround/bracket which could be fixed to the standard mount, then a number plate slotted in without drilling it. What set up do you have? If you have anything good let me see what you have.

    I’m gonna have a play around today. This sounds like the most logical explanation so far!!! Although, it would be in connection with the ICE cooling too. Thanks for everyone’s input so far!!
  11. Shaw RX
    Nah. No tow bar. I was thinking cooling - but no idea what it would be cooling? Other than my feet???

    It’s not a switch to watch DVD. I wish it was!!! 😂 so, it still makes a noise like a tiny hairdryer. Anyine any ideas????
  13. Shaw RX
    Perfect English. Danke shöne. I will give this a try as I do have the premium nav with DVD.
  14. Shaw RX
    I guess it could be if it cooled my seat. It doesn't lol. Still haven't figured this out!!!!!!!!

    So, it was a leaky water pump leaking into the drive belt. Got the water pump and all labour covered under my warranty and just paid £50 for the drive belt.
  16. Shaw RX
    I haven't left it on long enough to find out. I will try leaving it on and see if it cuts on and off.
  17. Shaw RX
    I haven't looked at the manual!!!! Probably a good place to start. No, it doesn't have front sensors. It is only a quiet noise, but definitely activated by the switch.
  18. Shaw RX
    What is this switch for? It's down by the wing mirror switches. When you flick it, you can hear a sound like a little miniature Hoover from behind the dashboard, in the same area as the switch itself. Have a look and listen to the video. IMG_2483.MOV
  19. Shaw RX
    Brilliant. Thanks for your advice. I will post how I get on.
  20. Shaw RX
    I will try that 👍🏻 So if that fixes it, does that mean the belt needs replacing? Or that it just wanted some soap 😂
  21. Shaw RX
    I will give it a try tomorrow. But, I'm 99% sure I've tried this and it even does it when the a/c is switched off. So I'm sure it's not a/c related. Any more ideas?

    Hi all, I've had (what I think is) a squealing belt for a couple of months now. It's quite an indiscriminate noise. Doesn't always happen when cold, it can kick in at any time, any place, under any circumstance. I'm thinking fan belt? Which I reckon I could do myself with a decent guide. Anyone know where I could locate a guide? Or does anyone think it may be something else?
  23. Shaw RX
    Cheers Ed. Seems like not only was I charged a "York" price, but also a "BMW" price too!!!! I know what sort of price to be aiming for now 👍🏻

    Can anyone comment on how much it would cost to tint all windows (legally)? I live in York, so anywhere within half an hour of there, i.e. Leeds, Selby, Darlington, Hull. Any recommendations of companies would also be appreciated. Last time I had a full set of tints done was on an X3 and I think it cost in the region of £180.

    Hi, Was thinking of tinting the windows in the RX. My little girl still suffers with the standard glass. However, I have seen you can buy custom fit sun shades off eBay. Has anyone any experience with these sets? And does anyone know if Lexus sell these too? Maybe the Lexus one is fitted at the bottom of the window and you pull it up?
